Publisher Description
A meditation on redemption, self-sacrifice, and found family...with a sci-fi western twist.
1 VOLUME RELEASED - INDEPENDENT STORIES
A cloaked figure stumbles from a cargo ship, a wreckage of would-be attackers in her wake. What should have killed her only proves what she already knows - Her body will not let her die.
Fleeing her bloody past as the masked government enforcer known as Cyn, Meris is discovered unconscious by a former Union medic and his two adopted daughters. As they nurse her back to health and she struggles to adapt to a world far from the brutal life she was forced to lead as Cyn, two things become clear: her past isn't ready to let her go, and she isn't the only one whose dark, secret history is threatening to destroy their present.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This western-style adventure in a sci-fi universe from Moustafa (Count) blends genres into an enjoyable if routine tale of a thwarted attempt to escape one's destiny. Technologically enhanced Meris, who has laser eyers and is marked by a metallic triangle on her forehead, stumbles into town injured and gets healed by good Samaritan Ness and his crew of adopted daughters and dogs. But Meris's peaceful oasis is threatened when she crosses paths with a ruthless bounty hunter and his brother, who recognize her as the assassin called Cyn. To protect her newfound family, Meris must revert back into the inhuman weapon that is Cyn. The expressive art shines in dynamic fight scenes where Cyn wields her weapons like a whirling dervish. Fans of Firefly or The Mandalorian will find much that's familiar—a bad guy from the past here, a good guy sacrificed there, trotting along unremarkably until the final face-off. Dedicated admirers of Moustafa's art will enjoy flipping through, but those new to his universe building would be better off starting with Count.
